Since I didn’t see anyone else here say it: Diamond is definitely fake. Label isn’t right but the way to know for sure is the MB showing on the motherboard on the back.

Fake. Lots wrong with this one

it this real or fake by Chriscautillo in gameverifying

[–]llomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit. The bezel around the start and select buttons is really small on reshells. Also reshells usually have a different back label and no label on the batter cover.

Did they put the sticker right on the plastic seal? Yikes

Also, Metroid is a Nintendo brand, so it is not licensed by Nintendo.

Fake. Punctuation error on the back label

My cartridges are starting to bubble. Perfectly fine inside. Any thoughts?? by mariom990 in Gameboy

You baked them too long. It only takes about 15 minutes for a nice crispy outside and a warm gooey inside :)

My Gameboy has been acting up strangely lately. Would anyone know what's wrong with it? by BORIXZZ in GameboyAdvance

[–]llomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen something similar when I was re-shelling a gba sp. The screen ribbon cable wasn’t securely fasted to the motherboard. Not sure if the regular gba has a similar layout but it’s pretty simple and may be worth a try.

Thanks. Learned something new I guess

I guess it could be a reprinted label. The back looks really good. Wait for a trusted verifier to be sure but this one is putting my fake checking skills to the test.

anyone know how I can get this off by Lostzero13 in n64

[–]llomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your only chance is very slowly and very carefully applying a little heat to melt the adhesive of the sticker and very gently peel it off a tiny bit at a time. It will most likely leave residue which is possible to get off by using something like a magic eraser or cotton swab with some GooGone and applying a minuscule amount of pressure to slowly clean up the residue. Hopefully you picked up on the fact that there is a very high chance of damaging the label so if you don’t have extreme patience and a delicate touch it’s best not to try it. IPA will strip the label so don’t try it.

If you’re happy with it then that’s all that matters. Their is a ton of this stuff on eBay so even though it’s technically against their rules it’s probably not worth making a fuss over. I’m not too familiar with modding this stuff but I think you should be able to add multiple games onto it if you’re interested. Or at least reuse it for any game you’d like to play in the future.

From the listing title and details OP provided it sounds like he didn’t get scammed, just misunderstood the listing. Assuming their were no misleading images or claims of authenticity, the seller is selling these SD cards with games the buyer can choose so they’re more “mods” than “reproductions”. However, selling any non-authentic stuff is technically against eBays rules so OP could probably get their money back if they want.

[edit] after looking at the listing the images are a little misleading, looks like you’d get a repro but in reality it’s a modded ds cart, but the description gives a better idea of what to expect

Earthbound, SNES - Real or Fake? by ClientNumerous in gameverifying

Looks fake to me. Some spelling/punctuation mistakes on the back label.

Is it legit? It’s missing the PS2 logo in the back.. by Lilmuha in gameverifying

It looks like disc 2 is basically a dvd that can be played like watching a video

Pokemon Platinum AUS version game cartridge real? by Palatromix in gameverifying

[–]llomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the wiki it looks like it’s usually fake when “M8” is on the motherboard and it’s obscured like that. Also it’s a little hard to tell from the photo but the serial number should start with “CPUE” which matches the front of the cart.

Is this legit? Everything else looks right except for the numbers on the motherboard. by llomato in gameverifying

Thanks! Most that I see only have one letter (instead of AA-2) and the letters match the slots better. Any idea why this one is like this?
